This is a first printing of the US trade paperback edition. The title was originally published by Dempsey & Squires (London) in 1976. This edition marks a return to print of a book which has been unavailable since the late 1970s. Unabridged. It features the charming original illustrations by artist Fulvio Testa and was newly republished in the centennial of Burgess’s birth.
SYNOPSIS: “Edmund Ironside, Edward the Confessor, Edward the Elder, Edward the Martyr… Edgar wearies of an endless history lecture on England’s Anglo-Saxon kings and longs for an escape from the classroom – which he finds with a sudden plunge through a tiny hole in his desk.
Now Edgar is on the shores of Easter Island, listening to the chiming of Easter bells, searching for Edenborough, from whence he must find his way home in time for tea.
Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice, Edgar finds himself astray in a wonderland, his bizarre adventures highlighted by gloriously nonsensical conversations with curious creatures.”
